Create new cluster
If you wish to create a new cluster, simply press the 'Create new cluster' button. Untis will create an empty cluster with 0 periods. As soon as you assign a course to the cluster this number will be adjusted to the number of open periods of the course. You can also enter and change the number of weekly periods in the cluster yourself.
Note: Cluster = simultaneous sequence of lessons
Since a cluster is actually a simultaneous sequence of lessons, you will also find the new cluster in the 'Lesson sequences' window.
Delete cluster
You can delete a cluster by selecting the desired cluster and then clicking on the 'Delete cluster' button.
Split cluster
Use this function to split a cluster containing several periods, for example a 3-period cluster can be split into a 2-period and 1-period cluster.
If the box 'Include copies of the course in the new cluster'is checked, the courses in the cluster will also be split, i.e. a former 3-period course would be split into a 2-period course and also a new 1-period course created with a new lesson number. This is especially important if you wish to schedule the periods of a cluster in different ways, for example the 2-period cluster only as a double period or the single period only in the afternoon.
Split cluster by year/level
Use this function to split a cluster containing courses from class levels (years) into several clusters containing courses for a single class level (year). Please refer to section ' Optimisation for several class levels (years)' for more information on this function
